@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ The solution: `pattern:/"(\\.|[^"\\])*"/g`.
Step by step:
- First we look for an opening quote `pattern:"`
- Then if we have a backslash `pattern:\\` (we technically have to double it in the pattern, because it is a special character, so that's a single backslash in fact), then any character is fine after it (a dot).
- Then if we have a backslash `pattern:\\` (we have to double it in the pattern because it is a special character), then any character is fine after it (a dot).
- Otherwise we take any character except a quote (that would mean the end of the string) and a backslash (to prevent lonely backslashes, the backslash is only used with some other symbol after it): `pattern:[^"\\]`
- ...And so on till the closing quote.
